Isn't there some site (well probably many) where you can back up all your stuff online rather than on harddrives? Does anyone know the name of it?

I've been recommended Dropbox. Haven't used it though. You can also google 'best online backup' or something like that. There are tons of pages for that kind of service. :)
I have a hidden folder on my website with all my stuff.
I have files backed up on megaupload, mediafire and dropbox. Paranoid much? lol
I use dropbox. Easy to use and you can have the folder on your desktop for easy regular usage which automatically saves the files online too so everything can be accessed from any computer by using your password online.
Also really good if you're sharing files with other people because you can give them access to folders created in your dropbox.
I just email it to myself as an attachment! gmail allows huge files.
I'm thinking maybe I should just back up everything on like 3 external hard drives? That still freaks me out though. Dropbox requires it to still be on your computer though. Maybe I'll check out Mediafire. Is there an upload limit?
I believe you're thinking of 'cloud storage'. There's a few places that offer it, normally for a fee, though you can buy special harddrive to create a 'personal cloud' that you store all of your info on, but can access from anywhere, granted you have an internet connection. Hope this helps! :P
Mozy and Carbonite have deals on online storage. With the option of putting it all on disks or a hard drive.
